Standardization

Environment and Energy

JEITA is committed to creating an environment conducive to the advance of thedigital economy and greater international
competitiveness, including preventing
the spread of localization demands,
cross-border data regulations, and otherdigital protectionism that could obstruct
free corporate ac tivities such as thecreation of new services and innovation.
To realize international rules on “DataFree Flow with Trust” (DFFT), industries inJapan, the United Kingdom, the UnitedStates, Europe, and beyond are working
together to build consensus toward
digital liberalization at the G7, G20, OECDand other international frameworks,
starting with the WTO negotiations ona joint initiative on e-commerce. JEITA
will engage in the necessary measures
to prevent the spread of protectionist
policies adopted on the grounds ofgeopolitical risk and economic security,
working to reduce their impact on global
business. We will also address issues
in global logistics and seek to realize
efficient, internationally competitive
global supply chains.

JEITA participates actively in the activities ofinternational standardization organizations
such as the IEC and ISO, providing international chairs, secretaries, or deputy
secretaries in 22 cases, and acting as thedomestic review organization entrustedwith handling domestic deliberations for
39 TCs and SCs (TAs and JTC1). In addition
to ongoing work in those product areas
for which JEITA is responsible, we arealso engaged in developing international
standards in new areas such as printed
electronics (IEC TC119), which will provide thebase technologies for realizing IoT societies,
and wearable electronics (IEC TC124), which
are expected to have applications in a wide
range of areas as devices essential to theintegration of people and the Internet as IoT
societies advance. The IEC is actively engaged
in developing systems standards such as SyC
AAL (Active Assisted Living), and JEITA is also
working with relevant associations in areas
such as the newly established SyC Smart
Manufacturing. Now that a subcommittee
on artificial intelligence, SC42, has been
established under JTC1, which is jointly
administered by the ISO and the IEC, JEITA
participates actively in a committee steered by
the Information Processing Society of Japanas the domestic review organization in thisarea. In conjunction with our participation ininternational standardization activities, JEITA
is also pursuing the development of domestic
standards. We have published more than
500 JEITA specifications for those areas forwhich we are responsible, as well as working
to develop the Japanese Industrial Standards
required by industry.

Efforts to resolve environment-related
challenges are accelerating in Japan,
in other countries, and at the global
level, with reference also to industry
policy. Key areas include climate change
countermeasures, chemical substancemanagement, the formation of azero -waste societ y, and biodiversit yp ro te c tion. Taking the s e tre n d s a sopportunities for growth, we are making
use of JEITA’s domestic and international
net work s to engage in appropriate
re sp on s e s . We are als o working toposition the electronics industry which
JEI TA repre s ent s as the driver of avirtuous cycle of economic growth andgreen solutions, linking these efforts
organically to the exploration of the roleof digital technologies in establishing asustainable society, which needs to be
deepened down the lines of sustainability
and the SDGs, environmental measures
included.

JEITA is utilizing the results of activities to dateto foreground in Japan and abroad the way inwhich digital solutions contribute to resolving
environmental and social issues such as carbon
neutrality.

Human Resource Development

Cybersecurity

Kansai Branch Activities

Amidst the digitalization of society, thetraditional format of Japanese education
may not be equipping students withthe capacities and skills that theworld requires. The COVID pandemic,
meanwhile, has normalized teleworkand communication via online systems,
